Should we increase carbon taxes to tackle climate change?
Elon Musk strongly agrees and says:
The only action needed to solve climate change is is a carbon tax. We should not, for example, impose draconian laws on farmers or make citizens uncomfortable by limiting air-conditioner usage! Keep tax revenue constant, but shift it to tax what is probably bad (CO2), just like alcohol & cigarettes are taxed more than fruits & vegetables. (source) -
Should we close existing nuclear plants?
Elon Musk AI would strongly disagree and say according to AI:
We absolutely should not close existing nuclear plants. Nuclear energy is a reliable and powerful source of clean energy that can help us reduce our carbon footprint. Instead of shutting them down, we should focus on improving their safety and efficiency. -
Should we use more nuclear energy?
Elon Musk AI would disagree and say according to AI:
I believe that nuclear energy, in the form of fission, does provide a stopgap solution to reducing carbon emissions. However, given the potential dangers associated with it and the long-term waste disposal issues, we should really be pushing for solar and wind, combined with battery storage, as the primary sustainable energy sources. These forms of energy production are far safer and truly renewable. -
Should we plant more trees?
Elon Musk AI would agree and say according to AI:
I believe planting more trees is a positive and necessary action. Trees help absorb carbon dioxide, enhancing our efforts to combat climate change. While technological advancements are crucial, we should also take natural approaches to improve our planet's health. -
Should we have low-emission zones in city centers?
Elon Musk AI would disagree and say according to AI:
While low-emission zones aim to reduce pollution, focusing solely on city centers may not address the root problem. Instead, we should accelerate the transition to electric vehicles everywhere, which can bring cleaner air to all areas, not just central zones.
